Malota Custom Labbit

So dear Malota has been doing real well with custom pieces lately. She outdid herself this time with a fantastic job on a smorkin' labbit. I love it the moment I saw it. And thank God, she got rid of the cigarette. Just got slightly tired of cigarettes. This is for her May show at Rivet Gallery, Ohio.

Again, LOVE IT!

With the piece in my hand, there's this complete sense of satisfaction that is unexplainable. I can keep staring at it and still my imaginations for it will keep running wild.

The piece is brilliantly done. The process I went through for the past four months have been an absolutely enjoyable one. The process made the final product even more satisfying and significantly cherished.

wonderful lovely gifts from Mar

Mar Hernández Custom Teddy Trooper

I am finally 'allowed' to disclose the completed custom Teddy Trooper by dear Malota. Always been following the progress of this piece and it was an absolutely fun journey to be able to discuss and give suggestions on how the many ways we could approach this piece. I believe that is the most enjoyable part when it comes to private commissioned pieces or artworks.

As previously mentioned, love the purple! Love the seemingly mere lines. Glad that I suggested to do more to the hat, it turned out incredibly good.

I could have commissioned a Mellow instead, but I am happy to have variations in my custom collection. But who knows, a mellow might come along the way in the not-so-distant future.

Mar Hernández aka Malota is one of my top illustrators/artists out there. I have not posted any entry on her yet mainly because I would like to do so once she is finished with a commission custom piece for me. Credits to sleepboy for introducting Mar's works through his commissioned custom Rolitoboy, done beautifully and elegantly.


"Malota loves music and draws in her moleskine while having coffee with friends. She has a deep obsession about the colors of her pieces, scrupulously working the color scheme until obtaining the tonalities that generate the sensations that she wants to transmit in each work. Another special interest to her is the symmetry present in most of her works, an axial symmetry that makes her characters look more static and blunt, strange and enigmatic. Aspects of geometry, tangram, and origami also hold great interest for Maltoa and are usually found in her work. Many individuals find oriental signs in Mar's work, due to the Japanese and Chinese culture that are such a source of inspiration for the artist. "

I really love the lines, they are so free flow that they do not take up any form but eventually do become something. Another thing to note is that I absolutely adore purple or colours almost equivalent, which quite a number of her works take up of. She does pretty cards too that make excellent gifts.
